Table 3 Statistical findings on the correlations between age and changes in velocity, diameter, and flow rate at baseline (CPT-0) and CPT-1.

	Age
	r	P values
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	−	^*
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)	−0.122	0.352
Pulse rate (beat/min)	−0.149	0.255
Velocity (cm/sec)	0.169	0.196^*
Diameter (mm)	0.003	0.982^*
Flow rate (ml/min)	0.001	0.992^**
^* Pearson correlation coefficient; ^** Spearman correlation coefficient. CPT – cold pressor test; CPT-1 – 1-minute measurement of the CPT.
